If we could set up a Truman Show scenario where Trump thinks he’s President again and the public send in scenarios for him to deal with, what would you suggest?

A global pandemic with a deadly disease.

To make it a bit easier for him I'll give him advance warning and have the disease start on the other side of the world, say, China. Hell, let's have the disease hit Europe first to show that industrialized western nations aren't immune from its effects.

To make it even easier, I'll give him an advisor that's not only an expert on infectious diseases, but also politically experienced.

To finish off I'll give him a rabid cult-like base that will do whatever he says no questions asked.

On second thought I think I made this too easy, there's no way he'd fuck it up.

That scenario seems a little far-fetched imo
